Aaron Rodgers is now 0-for-4 in the playoffs against the 49ers.
It’s the time of the NFL season where how you win does not matter, so long as you win.on Saturday night in snowy, bitter cold Green Bay set all sorts of history — including reaching a conference championship game for a record 17th time.
Most notable was the special teams effort, where Jimmie Ward blocked a field goal at the end of the first half , then Jordan Willis blocked a punt midway through the fourth quarter that Talanoa Hufanga recovered and returned six yards for a touchdown. It’s the first blocked punt returned for a touchdown in 49ers postseason history.
San Francisco is also just the third team in NFL history to block a field goal and a punt in the same playoff game. The other two teams were the 1976 Vikings, who did it in the NFC Championship Game to beat the Rams, and the 1988 Bills, who used the blocks to beat the Houston Oilers in the AFC divisional round.
The Niners are just the fourth team since 2000 to win a playoff game without scoring an offensive touchdown, and 13 points in the fewest points San Francisco’s scored in a postseason win in franchise history .
